Traxxas White Long Progressive Springs 5857

Description

Traxxas White Long Progressive Springs (Part #5857)

Upgrade your RC truck’s front suspension with this high‑performance spring set from Traxxas — designed for enhanced response and control.

Key Features

• A pair of white, progressive‑rate front springs engineered for “long”‑length shock assemblies.

• Custom‑wound coils: they are soft enough to aid small‑bump compliance, yet increase in stiffness as compression deepens to absorb harder impacts and jumps.

• Ideal fit for the long version of the Traxxas Ultra Shocks™ front applications.

Benefits

• Improved ride quality — The progressive rate means the springs offer a smoother ride over light terrain while still handling heavier landings or rough terrain without bottoming out.

• Better front‑end control — When you upgrade from standard constant‑rate springs, the progressive springs give you a bit more finesse up front, helping with stability and responsiveness.

• Quick performance boost — As a simple swap, these springs let you upgrade your front suspension tuning without needing a full shock overhaul.

Ideal Use & Audience

• Perfect for RC hobbyists driving vehicles with long‑length front shocks who want a suspension that handles everyday terrain and aggressive runs alike.

• Excellent for front‑end upgrades on models such as the Traxxas Slash®, Nitro Slash®, Ford F‑150 Raptor® and others that support the long‑shock format.

• Also suited for anyone replacing worn‑out front springs and looking for better all‑round performance without increasing spring rate too drastically.

Installation & Setup Tips

• Remove the front shocks, drain or inspect as needed, then swap the old springs for these white progressive springs.

• After installation, set preload and ride height as per your terrain and driving style: if you bottom out often, increase preload a bit; if it’s too stiff, reduce preload slightly.

• Because these are progressive rate springs, experiment with your shock oil weight and piston configuration for best match: a heavier oil may slow rebound too much in combination with these springs.

• Test your setup by driving over small undulations and then larger landings — observe how the front reacts. The goal is a balanced front end that doesn’t dive excessively under braking, nor pitch violently over impacts.

Why You’ll Like It

If you’re looking for an upgrade that’s relatively low cost but high impact, the 5857 progressive springs deliver a meaningful improvement in front‑suspension behaviour. You’ll get a smoother ride over bumps, firmer support when things get rough, and an upgrade that fits seamlessly into existing long‑shock front setups without needing complex mods.
